Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) criticized former President Donald Trump on Friday during an appearance on “CNN News Central,” asserting that his actions and rhetoric show he is not a patriot.
Waters stated, “Last night, as Democrats, we focused on educating the public about Trump and contrasting true patriotism with his disparagement of the country. He consistently criticizes the United States, suggesting it is falling apart and is of no value.”
She continued, “How can we trust someone who wants to be President of the United States but lies to the media, the public, and his opponents? We need to highlight his dishonesty and how he undermines the nation. Trump’s alignment with figures like Putin and Kim Jong-un, his disrespect for veterans, and his overall behavior reveal that he is not the patriot he claims to be. It’s crucial to compare his record with that of Kamala Harris and the Democrats, as well as the broader contrast between the parties. It’s not difficult to make this distinction.
